Bacalao con Huevo [Recipe + Video] Codfish withEgg

1. Boiling tayota or potato and codfish

1. Rinse the bacalao to wash off as much salt as possible. Peel and cut tayotas or potatoes into quarters (if you want to add either, this is optional).Place bacalao (and tayota or potato) in a large pot. Boil in a gallon [4 l] of water until the tayota or potato is tender (20 - 25 mins), and the bacalao flakes off – remove whichever cooks first if it doesn't happen simultaneously. Remove the pot from the heat and discard the water.Taste the bacalao, if it still is too salty, submerge in clean water and let it rest for half an hour. Cool everything to room temperature.

2. Chopping and cleaning

1. Remove the skin and core of the tayotas, as well as any of the fibrous parts around the pit. If you used potatoes, peel them. Cut into either into cubes. Remove the skin and bones of the bacalao. Shred into spoon-sized pieces.
